The next day the team woke up to find Waspinator was missing and went to look for the Insecticon. Starscream and Thundercracker were searching from the sky in their jet modes.

"I don't know where he could have gone?" Said Thundercracker. "I'm not seeing him anywhere."

"Me either but he has to be around here somewhere so we need to keep looking." Starscream told his brother. "It doesn't make since why would Waspinator just take off like this?"

"There was no sign of a struggle so he left of his own accord." Thundercracker said to Starscream. "But why?"

The two seekers continued look for their friend from the air. While Knock Out and Jailbreak searched for him on the ground. They had split into two teams to look for Waspinator thinking it would be a bad idea not to have back up in case the one who shot Thundercracker down a few day early was still near by.

"How could Waspinator just vanish?" Asked Jailbreak.

"I don't have a clue." Knock Out replied. "But between the four of us we have to find him sooner or later right Sis?"

There was no reply and Knock Out didn't hear Jailbreak's tire's anymore. She was gone.

Now panicked Knock Out started looking around frantically trying to figure out what happened to his sister. First Waspinator now Jailbreak why were bots disappearing? Was someone picking them off one by one?

Fearing for his sister's safety Knock Out decided to call Starscream and Thundercracker over his com-link to let them know what was going on. He put his finger to his com-link but before he could make the call he was suddenly hit by something hard across the helm then Knock Out fell to the ground as everything went dark.

Knock Out woke up a while later restrained by webs and saw Jailbreak next to him who was webbed up as well.

"Jailbreak are you OK?" Knock Out asked his sister.

"I think so but who knocked us out and webbed us up?" She asked.

"I have an idea who it was and I don't like it." Knock Out told her. "We need to get out of here and the sooner the better."

"Don't worry I'm not an escape artist for nothing." Jailbreak said to her brother as she changed one of her servos into a saw similar to the one Knock Out had and cut herself free then did the same for him.

"Way to go Sis now let's get out of her." Said Knock Out as the two of them started to walk away.

"Leaving so soon?" Said a voice that made Knock Out whence.

"Arachnid you stay away form us!" Knock Out yelled as he got his saw ready to defend himself and Jailbreak.

"I enjoyed scrapping Breakdown I just hope you'll be as much fun to offline when I reunite the two of you." Arachnid hissed at Knock Out.

"Run Jailbreak tell Starscream and Thundercracker what's going on I'll hold her off!" Knock Out screamed to his sister not wanting her to suffer the same fate as his best friend.

Jailbreak didn't want to leave Knock Out but knew Starscream and Thundercracker could fight Arachnid better then she could and went to get them right away.

Knock Out was relieved thinking his sister would be safe so he could deal with Arachnid without having to worry about her being hurt or worse.

Arachnid shot her webs at Knock Out but he was able to dodge them. Then he used his saw and managed to cut Arachnid right across the face but this only mad her mad. Knock Out ran off into a wooded area knowing Jailbreak had enough of a head start to be safe.
